Re: Athlon 64 x2 5000+ Black Edition

currently stock 2600mhz and ambient 68f. haven't had a chance to rev it up yet. the 3050mhz was a different board, cooler and over a month ago . i usually see: winter/68 vs summer75 load temps: 54c vs 57/58, not a whole lot.

my quess 7000 vs 7500 al difference would be a 3-5 degrees. there's a guy in the forums that uses a 7000 to oc his 939.

Not sure what that meant, but I am taking this thread to have been saying that the core temps are what I should be worrying about. Right now during the winter, I am happy with these temps. If this summer changes things much, I might have to try another cooler. thanks

Re: Athlon 64 x2 5000+ Black Edition

Hello Nate,

I just built a 5000+ Black on a MSI 7325 with a Cooler Master Hyper TX HSF and Corsair TWIN 2X2048-6400C4. I started cranking it up a bit today and the thing is running great at 210 x 15 - 3150 Mhz. Vcore 1.3.

I've just started memtesting the ram so I haven't adjusted that or any voltages.

My temps are similar to yours. Core Temp says core #0 is usually 11-14° and core #1 is 7-10°. CPUID Hardware Monitor gives me the same temps but reverses the core numbering. Right now it's telling me cores of 10 and 16 with a max for the day of 19 and 24, a CPU temp of 26 with a max of 36 and system temp of 35 with a max of 36.

The only crash I've had is when I invoked the cool 'n' quiet function to see what would happen.

What is a safe voltage range for this CPU, the default is 1.31 vcore. I'm mostly interested in just increasing the multiplier and not doing much of anything the the bus.

Over the weekend I stopped my hemming and hawing and put together a nice little gaming rig using a 5000+ BE and a Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H. I have a Zalman CNPS9500NT for cooling, and am using 4GB (2x2) of Patriot PC-6400 (5-5-5-15).

At the moment (put it together Saturday afternoon) it's running 3150MHz @ 1.3v. I set the multiplier at 15, and bumped the CPU bus to 210. Rock solid under XP SP2 (played Hellgate:London about 10 hours continuously yesterday), but Vista seems a bit unstable. I'm still investigating. Processor temp with my Zalman runs about 43' C under load. The board has fairly limited OC settings, but it's enough to bump CPU bus, alter the HTT multiplier, adjust the CPU multiplier, etc - the simple stuff. It was awesome to throw it in, install XP, get all that nonsense squared away, and then bump the multi to 15 with no issues whatsoever.
